Argento Cucina

Best Known For

6-hour braised beef cheek, creamy mashed potato, roasted Brussels sprouts, mushroom jus and crispy prosciutto.

Expect traditional Italian cuisine with a modern twist at Argento Cucina on Queens Parade in Fitzroy North. Find a cosy vibe at this quaint restaurant, where fretwork adorns a bay window frontage and indoors oozes rustic charm with well-worn brick and potted greenery setting the scene for lingering over a meal with famiglia. There is something to tempt all tastes from starters such as Spring Bay mussels in rich, white wine sauce with chilli, onion, garlic and basil, served with crusty bread; or rosemary salt calamari salad, wild rocket, pickled red onion and cherry tomatoes with citrus mayo dipping sauce. For the main, delve into rolled and stuffed veal, rich red wine sugo, creamy polenta, Tuscan cabbage and rocket salad; steak lovers devour Scotch fillet, potatoes and red wine jus.
